Aydin Marine – the manufacturer of industry-leading, type-approved displays, computers and peripherals, announced today the release of a 17-inch multi-touch, sunlight-readable display in its popular KMGBL series of pilothouse and flybridge displays, the KMGBL-17T.

The slim profile and lightweight case is constructed of milled billet aluminum and provides IP68 dust and water ingress protection on the front face and IP65 protection when console mounted.

“The overwhelming popularity of the KMGBL series and requests from customers led us to add this 17-inch model,” said Mark Bidinger, business unit director, Rugged Electronics, Aydin Marine. “By expanding the KMGBL series line, we have simplified the selection process for boaters and builders to pick exactly the right size screens for their glass bridge installations.Every unit gives our customers the peace of mind that comes from the quality Aydin delivers.”

We are confident our new 17-inch display will be well received by our customers.”

KMGBL displays have an operating temperature range of 15 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 to 55 Celsius) and are designed to withstand the harshest marine conditions. Certified to IEC60945 standards, the USB multi-touch displays are ideal for navigation and vessel monitoring systems that require touch functionality.
